Music galore at the 2012 Waterford World’s Fair
WATERFORD — Live entertainment and agricultural events headline the 2012 Waterford “World’s Fair” next Friday through Sunday, July 20-22. Again this year, the World’s Fair has a full schedule of top notch musical acts performing on the Norway Savings Bank stage. Starting at 4 p.m. on Friday, Portland-based Tricky Britches kicks off the music lineup with a progressive, high energy bluegrass set that will make you smile and we guarantee your toe will be tapping. At 5:30 p.m., Trailer Trash takes the stage. These guys are truly a local favorite. Performing around the Oxford Hills and beyond for more than 25 years, Paul Dube and Ellen Linsey will give a show to remember, playing many familiar folk-rock, blues, and country tunes along with some of Paul’s awesome original songs. And when Eric Grenier joins them with his wailin’ harp, the audience will simply be blown away. At 7 p.m., The Swampdonkeys will make you wonder, “How can these guys say so many words so fast?” Close your eyes and you will think you’re in an Irish pub. This southern Maine Celtic/ bluegrass trio, with their wellblended harmonies, will give you the foot stompin’ show that makes them popular.
Topping off Friday night, Waterford’s own beloved Jordan Kaulback takes the stage at 8:30 p.m. Jordan (Kauls) has a large following wherever he plays. His very rhythmic style would even impress the likes of such world class players as Jack Johnson and Zack Deputy. He’ll also surprise you with the medleys he puts together, some of which include older standards than you’d expect a guy his age to even know. Jordan’s known for his looping skills as well. This is where he’ll electronically lay down multiple live tracks, while he’s performing, and sing and play lead on top of them. On Saturday at 4 p.m., Terry Swett and the Milltown Roadshow start the evening on the NSB stage. Terry, a prolific songwriter, along with his longtime friend and backup singer, Debbie Stanford, have formed a solid bond with Connecticut native Jack Jolie. Jack, who now calls South Bridgton his home, adds an impressive flatpicking bluegrass guitar style to the mix. The Roadshow’s tight harmonies musical arrangements provide a sound you won’t soon forget. If blues are your calling, you will not want to miss the 5:30 p.m. performance of Black Cat Road.
